Ooops...

I had quite the SCARE this morning. I had a math test at 9 am that I have been studying quite vigorously for. It is math for nursing and it was very critical that I do well. In fact, everyone had to get 85% or above on this test in order to progress in the nursing program. Thus, we were all stressing for this exam. Well, I went to bed last night at midnight and was planning to get up at 7:30 to get just a few more minutes of studying in before I headed to school. Well this morning I rolled over and looked over at the clock to find that it was already 10 am. My mind started to race trying to remember what day it was, and I realized that yes, it was Wednesday and yes, I had just slept through a test. I wasn't too lady like as I hurried out of bed. A few words slipped my mouth that usually aren't uttered by these lips. Good news: I made it to school within 8 minutes of waking up. I believe that is a record for me. I was informed later that I looked like death upon walking into class. I was also greeted with a round of a plause by good old friends in the class. Luckily, I walked in on a break and not during a lecture. I went and found my professor and explained to her that I must have not heard my alarm and blah blah blah... She was kind and let me take the exam still. I felt like an idiot to say the least. AND--I think I got 100%. They made the test pretty easy--it was just basic so that was quite relieving. That has been my day so far. Here is an example of a nursing math question. See if you can figure it out:

Question: The physician orders 200 mg of an antibiotic IM q.12h. The pharmacy sends a vial of antibiotic powder for reconstitution with the following mixing directions: "For IM injection, IV direct (bolus) injection, or IV infusion, add 2 mL sterile water for injection. Shake well. Provides an approximate concentration of 125 mg/mL." How many mL of the medication will the nurse give to the patient?

Answer: 1.6 mL
